   In the 1880s, the mark of consumption among elites was replacing gaslights for electric ones. Today it is the replacement of electric ones for useless decorative gas lights that constantly burn. We see these in many wealthy neighborhoods in Chicago.

   I really don't know about the mechanics of this system. Nor do I know anything about the people. Just always find such fixtures strange.
